FORCED LANDING DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF AN AIRCRAFT FORCED LANDING

摘要

forced landing detection system, and method for detecting a forced landing of an aircraft. a hard landing detection system includes a wheel assembly, a shock absorber mechanically coupled to the wheel assembly and landing gear assembly landing gear, a controller that has a processor, and configured non-transient tangible memory to communicate with the processor. tangible, non-transient memory has instructions stored in it, which, in response to processor execution, cause the hard landing detection system to perform operations including the detection of a landing event through the processor and the determination through the processor if the landing event is hard. The hard landing system may further include the use of the stroke position sensor and landing event detection may include the use of the stroke position sensor to measure a stroke profile of the shock absorber. Additionally, determining whether the landing event is hard may include purchasing, through the processor, the impact damper stroke profile for a predetermined maximum impact damper stroke.
